Forgot I also have a digital luggage scale and that says 2.13kg -
My very basic kitchen scales say it's 2.1kg on the nose

Fender MIM Classic 50s Precision Bass body, stripped and routed for a Jazz pickup in the bridge position with a side mounted jack socket. I bought this on here a couple of weeks ago with a view to putting together another P Bass but I'm not sure I need a fifth and have some other projects to attend to first. The body just needs a bit of sanding and it's ready to paint. Price is what I paid for it a fortnight ago.

Price drop to £330 - £50 less than I paid for it just 2 weeks ago and I'll I've done to it in that time is clean it up a bit. -
The Chinese Classic Vibes were excellent; even if you took the price out of the equation, they were just good instruments. I think it was definitely intentional to merge the VM and CV lines to drop the quality on them and move them further from the lowest rung of the fender ladder.

I had one of those in Daphne Blue. Really good quality and one I wish I'd kept hold of. I paid £800 for it 2 years ago and sold it for the same price about a year later.

Tell me about fender/ squier bass VI please
Jono Bolton replied to police squad's topic in Bass Guitars
I had the Classic Vibe Bass VI. It was decently made and I really liked the pickups in it, but ultimately I didn't use it much, and the string spacing at the nut was far too narrow for me to play comfortably so I sold it at the end of last year. -
It's absolutely sickening to think that a bass made in the 90s would be considered 'old'.

I took the scratch plate off last night and had a look at the wiring. I've got a 1 Meg CTS pot in the tone position, but the solder on the volume pot is covering up the details; is it likely to also be 1 Meg or would it be lower? I didn't get a note of the cap values while I had it open so not sure what it is. Given the volume pot doesn't have a smooth sweep, it is worth just replacing the whole harness?

Fender Vintera II 70’s Telecaster Bass & Gig Bag - *SOLD*

Great bass, great price. -
Best pots and capacitor to get the most tonal range
Jono Bolton replied to Brian D's topic in Bass Guitars
What pots and cap have you got in there already? -
How can a product on pre-order be discontinued?

I'd be more interested in the P if the neck had dots instead of blocks. I don't know why Squier (and Fender) have blocks on their 70s Precisions when almost every genuine 70s Fender P I've seen has just had a normal neck on it.

Are we looking at the same picture?
